University of Michigan researchers and their colleagues used a nationwide COVID-19 lockdown in Nepal as a natural experiment to test the responses of two GPS-collared tigers to dramatic reductions in traffic volume along a national highway.
Next-gen computing material gets down to the right size for modern manufacturing
Photonic fibers borrow from butterfly wings to enable invisible, indelible sorting labels
With a big assist from artificial intelligence and a heavy dose of human touch, Tim Cernak’s lab at the University of Michigan made a discovery that dramatically speeds up the time-consuming chemical process of building molecules that will be tomorrow’s medicines, agrichemicals or materials.
Microplastic pollution can be spotted from space because its traveling companion alters the roughness of the ocean’s surface
Searching through existing data spanning 9 billion years, a University of Michigan physicist and colleagues have uncovered the first evidence of “cosmological coupling”—
School of Medicine researchers have discovered a key trigger for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a mysterious condition that causes fat to build up in the liver for no clear reason.
New research has highlighted issues about how the conservation status of different species is classified, and suggests the focus should be on restoring species now rather than waiting for them to become threatened with extinction before acting.
"Every act of creation," Picasso famously noted, "is first an act of destruction." Taking this concept literally, researchers in Canada have now discovered that "breaking" molecular nanomachines basic to life can create new ones that work even better.
In Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of autism, sensory signals from the outside world are integrated differently, causing them to be underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons in the brain.
Many fears develop during childhood. And the scientific literature is quite clear: learning to fear through observation is common especially in children who take their parents as models and learn to fear a stimulus without being directly exposed to an aversive situation.
A new study shows how the brains of Egyptian fruit bats are highly specialized for echolocation and flight, with motor areas of the cerebral cortex that are dedicated to sonar production and wing control.
Researchers investigate the energy that powers bacterial growth to understand how bacteria develop antibiotic resistance.
The immunotherapy developed by Texas A&M researchers enables precise tumor-killing with fewer side effects.
A pioneering study has revealed how schools worldwide are using a raft of marketing techniques to attract higher performing pupils and climb the league tables.
MU research shows managers must step up to encourage more employees to be leaders, ultimately increasing the effectiveness of the workplace.
If current emissions levels persist, there is now a 50% chance that global warming of 1.5°C will be exceeded in nine years.
Gadgets that emit small electrical pulses can drastically cut the number of sharks and stingrays caught accidentally on fishing lines, new research shows.
Findings can spark future evaluation of language development outcomes for at-risk children of depressed mothers.
A largescale new study offers a new approach to treating in type 2 diabetes – that puts patients in charge of their own medication.
